However, it should be this big, since some of the cultivators fighting up there specialize in large-scale spells that can split mountains and rivers at any time, and they can't perform them if the space is too small.

"Let's sign the contract."

Xiong Ao gave Wu Er a cold smile and handed him a piece of jade.

Wu Er took the jade scroll, released his spiritual power, and tapped it a few times. The three characters "Long Aotian" appeared on it. Then he handed the jade scroll back to Xiong Ao.

Xiong Ao glanced at the jade and then signed his name on it.

He said, "Hmph, this life-or-death arena has the Daoist aura set up by the sect leader. Once you sign a contract and step onto the arena, a barrier will be created, which is equivalent to isolating you from the outside world. No matter how strong your connections are, no one can rush up to save you!"

Then, Xiong Ao added, "Even if Elder Xiao came, he couldn't save you!"

"Okay, okay."

Wu Er picked at his ear, tilted his head and said, "I'm so annoyed by you extras who keep trying to explain everything. Why can't you just say less and start fighting?"

Then he pointed to the onlookers and said, "Look, they're all getting impatient. Let me slap you in the face."

Seeing Wu Er's nonchalant expression, Xiong Ao became angry and took a few heavy breaths.

He threatened, "Fine, since you want to suffer sooner, then I'll grant your wish!"

After saying that, Xiong Ao stomped hard on the ground, crushing several of the stone slabs on the ground.

Then he leaped up and landed on the life-or-death stage.

After regaining his footing, Xiong Ao turned around and said to Wu Er below the stage, "Come up here!"

"That's more like it, why not just start fighting?"

Wu Er also leaped up and flew onto the arena at the speed of a normal outer disciple in the Foundation Establishment stage.

After the two stepped onto the arena, a burst of spiritual light appeared around them, and a barrier materialized, enveloping them in the life-or-death arena.
